    About this ebook

    James Bond has graced our bookshelves and screens for over sixty years. The martini-drinking, super-smooth character has become an icon and international treasure.

    Like most of the millions of James Bond fans around the world, John Pearson assumed that the world's most famous spy was no more than a figment of Ian Fleming's highly charged imagination. Then he began to have his doubts. He finally became convinced that James Bond was not only real but alive and well in Bermuda.

    Thanks to a change in policy within the secret service, Pearson was invited to embark upon a companion volume to his biography of Fleming. With candour, Bond began to recount the story of his life to Pearson, revealing the most amazing adventures only hinted at in Fleming's novels, and showing a side of himself never seen before. This resulting book must be one of the most extraordinary works of our times - the authorised life of a myth, the official biography of James Bond.

    John Pearson

    John Pearson is the author of All the Money in the World (previously titled Painfully Rich), now a major motion picture directed by Ridley Scott film and starring Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg and Christopher Plumber (nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor). He is also the author of The Profession of Violence, on which the Tom Hardy film Legend is based, and the follow-up, The Cult of Violence. Born in Surrey, England in 1930, Pearson worked for Economist, The Times, and The Sunday Times, where he was the assistant of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond. Pearson published the definitive biography of Fleming, The Life of Ian Fleming in 1966. Pearson has since written many more successful works of both fiction and non-fiction. Biographies remain his specialty with accomplished studies of the Sitwells, Winston Churchill and the Royal Family.
